Cornerstone University Partners with Project H.O.O.D.
Cornerstone University is honored to work with Project H.O.O.D. (Helping Others Obtain Destiny), an influential nonprofit founded by Rev. Corey Brooks — a visionary pastor, entrepreneur, and community leader on Chicago’s South Side. This new Golden Eagle Partnership offers Project H.O.O.D. staff and community students guaranteed admission to all Cornerstone undergraduate programs — on campus, online, and through SOAR™, the nation’s first fully smartphone-streaming business degree — along with dedicated scholarships and opportunities to collaborate in both Chicago and Grand Rapids.
“This partnership with Cornerstone University is so important. It is about preparing that God-given potential for action — equipping students not only for careers, but for their calling. We are investing in leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers who will take what God has placed in them and use it to rebuild our neighborhoods and transform our city for generations to come.”
— Rev. Corey Brooks, CEO of Project H.O.O.D. Communities Development Corporation
